Rear Hatch (just the glass) thinks its open

I've been having an issue where my car (955/05) reports that my rear hatch (just the glass) is open, and it causes a warning sound every time I start driving.
I tried opening the rear hatch (just the glass) and closing it solidly with no success. I can't find any switch back there or do I have to replace the complete lock?
Does anyone have any advice on resolving this?

My '06 used to do this. Really slam it closed. Then never open it again.

DLF is on a distinguished road
I had the issue a few years ago . There is a little micro switch in the locking mechanism. There was obvious wear on the plastic bit that activates the switch. I managed to break the little metal strip on the micro switch while trying to adjust it. Anyway I just locked the switch in a permanently closed position with some tape. Haven't had a problem since.
